nhr-25 encodes a nuclear hormone receptor orthologous to Drosophila Ftz-F1; NHR-25 is required for embryogenesis, molting, vulval and gonadal development, and hypodermal expression of acn-1; nhr-25 is expressed in gonads and loaded into embryos as a maternal transcript; nhr-25 is zygotically expressed in progeny of the E cell, and then in hypodermis and gut; the role of NHR-25 in molting may be evolutionarily conserved between nematodes and arthopods.
